Ukrainian Drones Strike Yaroslavl Oil Refinery in Deep-Rear Attack
Ukrainian long-range drones targeted the Yaroslavl Oil Refinery, located over 700 kilometers from the border, on August 29, 2026. Russian authorities confirmed the facility was burning following the strike. This attack is part of a broader Ukrainian strategy to degrade Russia's oil-refining capacity, which has reportedly fallen by 25-30% due to consistent strikes. The Yaroslavl facility is a critical node in Russia's domestic fuel supply chain and industrial output.
